Stefan Postma is expected to return to Aston Villa's training ground at Bodymoor Heath today still looking for a new club after a premature end to his short trial with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The third-choice Aston Villa goalkeeper, who is in the final year of his contract and who has been looking for a move for some months, had been due to spend the entire week training with Wolves at Compton Park.

But, after playing for them in Tuesday night's 2-1 reserve team defeat to Newcastle United, he has been allowed to return to Villa.

Everything would appear to hinge on Postma's desire to play more first-team football. Although Wolves are light on goalkeeping strength in depth due to the injuries to Matt Murray and Paul Jones, they have an obvious No 1 firmly in place in former Villa man Michael Oakes.

Postma has had that spelt out to him and his search for a new club must go on.
